Everything Else Has Gone Wrong is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the British band’s acclaimed No. 1 charting, Mercury Music Prize nominated fourth album, So Long, See You Tomorrow, released back in 2014. Speaking of the record’s title, vocalist/guitarist Jack Steadman explains: “This is an album for anyone who’s ever turned to music in a time of need. It’s about the solace one can get from listening to music or playing music. For me personally it’s about the frustration of not being able to express myself to others, of leaving conversations feeling dissatisfied and misunderstood. Music’s the way I’m able to truly express myself.” Largely recorded in the US alongside Grammy Award winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, War on Drugs), it’s introduced by the euphoric new single, “Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You).” With an innate ear for melody and invention, Bombay Bicycle Club are a very welcome return to the fold just as British guitar music makes a timely renaissance.
